Everything’s for sale! Or, at least, that’s the idea behind Stefan Dorra’s For Sale: The Game of Property and Prosperity. In this fast-paced game of bidding and bluffing to get the highest-ranking properties, it isn’t how much you pay for the properties, it is how much you sell them for. Manage your money wisely during the bidding and property acquisition phase, then outsmart your rival tycoons during the selling phase. Be the richest real estate mogul at the end of the game to win!

While school might be the last thing you’re thinking about over the holidays, Medieval Academy provides an education that is a pleasure to attain. Over the course of six rounds, players will compete as squires attempting to impress their respective knights. Master the arts of jousts and tournaments, complete dangerous quests, and polish your education by drafting cards to strategically play. By the end, the best squire will be knighted by King Arthur, himself.

Fans of Betrayal at House on the Hill, Letters from White Chapel, and Fury of Dracula will want to closely examine Deception: Murder in Hong Kong. In the game, players find themselves in a scenario of intrigue and murder. One player is the murderer, secretly choosing their weapon and the evidence they leave behind. Another is the forensic scientist who holds the key to convicting the criminal, but is only able to express their knowledge through analysis of the scene. Everyone else plays investigators, interpreting the clues, all while the killer is among them.

Almost as if there’s a new Star Wars movie coming out or something, Fantasy Flight drops two supplemental hardcover books for their Star Wars roleplaying system. First up, for the Force and Destiny system, Keeping the Peace. In Keeping the Peace, players will find additional materials for Guardians, including character options, force powers, signature abilities, lightsabers, armor, and much more. Out for the Edge of the Empire system is the Mask of the Pirate Queen adventure module. A multi-part tale for both seasoned and starting players, Mask of the Pirate Queen sends players on a hunt for the eponymous Pirate Queen.

What’s in the box? In Schrodinger’s Cats, the answer to that question is always indeterminate. A pseudo-scientific card game for two to six players, Schrodinger’s Cats has players running experiments, forming hypotheses, and trying to one-up each others research. Taking on the role of one of many cat physicists, like Isaac Mewton or Neil Degrasse Tabby, players will use their special abilities to prove their hypotheses and debunk those of other players.

THE SLAVES WILL BE FREED!!!!!

Level 7 has been locked down. You’ve been trapped inside. And the alien creatures trapped with you are not friendlies.

Put on your goggles, pump up your steam powered jetpack, and wrap that scarf around your neck, ’cause you’ve just found yourself in Gearworld! Gearworld: The Borderlands is a board game for all the steampunk fanatics out there, applying Risk-like mechanics to a mechanical world, pitting two to four players against each other in a battle for world domination.

The long awaited Magic the Gathering set, Modern Masters, has finally dropped! And it will likely be sold out by the time your finish reading this sentence. It’s that sought after. Containing some of the most expensive cards within the Modern format, this set is valuable. Also a limited print run, once Modern Masters is gone, it’s gone. For a limited time, Pulp still has boosters and full boxes for purchase, but, as I’ve tried to iterate, these will be gone quickly!

Tonight is a busy, busy night up here at Pulp Ficiton. There is what the Magic the Gathering addicted call a Pre-Release. To give you an idea of what these are like, imagine a horde of monkies with jetpacks high on cocaine. That will give you a slight idea of the insanity inherent in running a Magic Pre-Release.

For that reason, I’ll be cutting a few corners with tonight’s New Game Stuff Post. We’re going to play the back of the game box game tonight, so here we go.
